It’s amazing how well IGN has broken away from the pack on this one. But of course, everyone’s opinion is different, and as a journalist, it’s my duty to remain biased on the surface unless I were to review this game personally.

But from the looks of things, I don’t feel this game really deserves a 4.5 out of 10. I mean, I also don’t think its a perfect Silent Hill game as an outsider looking in, but maybe it fits the same standards as its predecessors like Homecoming or Shattered Memories. Downpour seems to be a title that’s playing with the concepts of the Otherworld, which has remained a consistent trait in the franchise. Downpour’s Otherworld levels will contain a lot of water themes, like how Shattered Memories had a consistency with ice.
